The Backwards Compatible Podcast - The Last of Us Spoilercast

6/8/2013

 
Picture
In the first podcast from Backwards Compatible we are joined by Bearskopff to discuss The Last of Us. As the podcast name suggests, many plot points are revealed here and it is advised that you finish the game before listening to this. 

We discuss the world Naughty Dog created, how we felt about the game in terms of story, game mechanics and what could have been done to improve the game. We also talk about the multiplayer and the recent announcement of the censorship of the more graphic content in some PAL versions of the game.

Thief is one of the greatest stealth franchises around and the visuals in the trailer below show an environment dominated by shadows, hopefully creating a great environment for Garrett to work.

Batman Arkham Origins Trailer

20/5/2013

 
Nonlethal Violence has always been the calling card of Batman. His stealth abilities allow him to live in the shadows and this relates extremely well to games.

The opening of this latest trailer gives a great showing of the a developing Batman and his raw aggression as well as introducing us to the villains he will be facing on the streets of Gotham.

Arkham Origins will be releasing on The PC, PS3, XBOX360 and WiiU in October 2013.

Batman Arkham Origin Screenshots

20/5/2013

The Dark Knight hardly needs any introduction. However some of his foes in the upcoming title from Warner Bros Montreal are not generally as well known. The new villain list includes Black Mask and the subject of some nice pre-purchase Dlc Deathstroke. With the promise of a post origin but pre-Arkham Asylum story line the addition of these villains is a welcome change.

Batman Arkham Origins Teaser Trailer

17/5/2013

 
New developer Warner Brothers Montreal have been charged with expanding the timeline of Rocksteady's Arkham franchise and early signs are promising.

This teaser trailer shows a more youthful Batman fighting as yet unnamed named Enemy (looks like Deathstroke). Even though it's just a brief clip the developers have promised an expanded Gotham to play around in.

Look out for the first full trailer coming next week.

PS2 Classic Manhunt comes to PS3

17/5/2013

 
Rockstar created a bit of a stir in 2003 with the release of stealth thriller Manhunt. Now the cult classic has been released for the first time on PS3 as part of the firms PS2 classic line up. Downloadable from the PSN for £7.99 (at time of print)

Manhunt's gameplay has you becoming part of a new reality TV show where the name of the game is to avoid being killed, as you systematically take-down the hordes of hunters desperate for your blood. 

Picture
Even though the game was surrounded with controversial on its release it gained good critical acclaim with a 76% rating on Metacritic. The novel way of using your voice (via the PS2's Mic) as a distraction technique added a level of complexity to the stealth and increasing the imersive nature of the gameplay.
